Col Douglas Macgregor Delivers Truth Bombs Surrounding Ukraine Conflict and Status of $4.7 Billion Spent Sending U.S. Equipment and Aid
The Conservative Treehouse - The Last Refuge ^ | April 22, 2022 | | Sundance

Posted on 04/22/2022 10:31:03 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Colonel Douglas Macgregor appeared on Tucker Carlson to give a brutally honest assessment of the conflict in Ukraine. Regarding the transfer of heavy weapons and artillery, Macgregor notes something many have discussed.

The logistics of sending in those weapons from western Ukraine (Poland border) to the eastern Ukraine battle encompasses a thousand-mile trek. Russia can easily hit those convoys en route, negating the supply line. Additionally, the U.S. has sent $4.7 billion in military equipment and financial aid so far (see graphic below), and we have no idea who is in control of those weapons. WATCH:

To give scale for the proxy war the U.S. government is waging in Ukraine, check out the extreme ratio of who in NATO is sending support, and how much.

“Truth Bomb”, “Red Wave”, “ Nothing Burger”. All children terms, and ...Gay!
I’m suspicious of anyone who uses such terms.
Carry on.

Macgregor has been wrong in every assessment he's made of the Ukraine war so far.

The Russians have had two months to hit convoys and they haven't hit much so far. The convoys are Ukrainian inside Ukraine in any case. Putin would truly have to have a death wish to strike NATO facilities in Poland.

*********************************************************************

“Financial aid” is fungible… 10% and much more for ALL THE BIG GUYS.

High tech American military equipment and its intrinsic military and technology secrets are very valuable to the CHINESE and the corrupt Ukrainians (there are many) will not hesitate to sell “samples” for a high price to CHINESE AGENTS.

I take Doug Macgregor with a grain of salt. His company Burke-Macgregor holds a lot of contracts with a little agency located at 1000 Colonial Farm Road.

If these European countries don’t give a flying f*** what happens in Ukraine, why should we? This war is on their doorstep.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Biden is getting a kick-back on this aid . . . more than 10% this time

We need to stop throwing gas on the war fire and extricate ourselves and stop sending taxpayer dollars.

If Russia could hit those convoys, why aren’t they?

I imagine they are being driven by Ukes?

If someone was driving trucks filled with missiles that could hit my tanks and aircraft, I would send my Air Force to take them out.

Why isn’t Russia doing that?

Don't care. Is irrelevant.

We deliver to the Polish-Ukrainian border - what happens after that doesn't concern us.

This is like Texas invading Oklahoma. They might kill one of their relatives.

The globalist oligarchs want a war with Russia to cover for their crimes.

And they got it.

This is a BS propaganda video sent out by MOTHER RUSSIA thru some jerk water internet web site the I have never found and the words are hugely Pro-Russia as that was who was at the site. So what so we loose a few launchers most are 1 ttime use. BTW 1000 Ukrainian Marines surrendered a week ago. So where is what they still had as far as weapons are concerned??????. This is pure Russian propaganda. Any time a army or squadron leaves for safer ground they we always leave things behind. Just look at Afghanistan 8 Billion dollars in weapons given away to China...

Your statement is a complete non sequitur.

Here's one of my own: You want Russia to ride roughshod over the Ukraine, to absorb large swathes of its territory, and very possibly continue on to Moldova.

Not true. He has correctly stated that China will stand with Russia, that sanctions will hurt US more than Russia, and that weapons and aid we provide will be a boondoggle.
